Bret Harte: The Birth of American Regionalism and Realism With Excerpts, Summary and Commentary on "The Luck of Roaring Camp" *Contributors Note: The following is in conjunction with an American Literature course at East Tennessee State University. Shawn Swisher is a senior seeking his second bachelors degree in Land Surveying and Geomatics. Introduction: Bret Hartes work captured a time and place nineteenth century eastern Americans often wondered about; California circa 1850. He wrote stereotypical stories of westerners on the new frontier. These were humorous stories about the preconceived idea of the gold miner and the new western frontier. His stories and poems filled a new niche being created in American Literature. Hartes work had its share of both fans and critics. His early career was full of life but his later career was full of repetitions and dullness. While Harte and others disliked his later work, few can discount his early work as a very important part of American Literature. Bret Harte was read all across the United States and was one of the first authors to get recognition as a regionalist writer. Biographical Information: Harte was born in Albany, NY in the year 1836. His early life was full of exposure to great literary works. Harte was even considered a genius because of the understanding of Shakespeare, Dickens, and Irving by the age of six (McMichael 1206). Harte was also well versed in the Greek language. However, at the age of thirteen he had to leave school due to family financial difficulty.
